I had same feeling...
The bike seems still in the break-in period, IMHO..
Just guessing, previous owner might not had treated well enough on the break-in maintenances.
Try to change with good quality oil first of all, and same problems after then >> other issue ha ha ha
Oil change won't hurt. :roll:
